Family Dollar
reviews and complaints

Family Dollar located at 265 West Ferry Street, Buffalo, NY 14214, this store location hires rude and ignorant employees. If it wasn't for the fact that -this location is convenient, I wouldn't patronize this store. Throughout my recent visit, I could here the employees gathering at the front near the registers cursing and talking loud. Since they were not paying attention a man that must have been stealing ran out of the store and you could here the employees screaming.. It was at that moment I knew it was time for me to leave and cash out. As I approached the counter I thought that the employees at the registers would've have some type of respect and stop cursing. But, no these savages did not. They continued. I then asked them could they refrain from cursing because I didn't want to here that. The male said that he is the manager of the store and

"I" was rude for telling grown people what to do? And I ain't got to shop here. I couldn't believe it. He continued to talking as I ignored him. It felt like it took for ever for the cashier to ring me out.

Overall, I think that it for the best interest of the store to request that the District Manager to train these employees on good customer service.

was sunday 3/12/23 at about 1:15-1:45, i bout a red bull and hit cash back and needed 50$ back. They didnt have it and it was no sign up saying no cash back. They told me to come back to get my money. I cant cause i have to work so i asked them to call police to cover my self and so police will know they owe me money. they got mad, and gave me my 50 dollars and told me i couldnt come back to the store. i did nothing wrong and this the second time the same store acted like that because im a african american. Im calling my lawyer after this so you will be hearing from me again it should all be on camera. im wearing all black

She automatically accused me of stealing even tho I walked in with the receipt and item I had purchased that I wanted to exchange the lady before me walked out with a handful of makeup and did not pay and yet I still got accused for it she automatically started asking questions without even asking the cashier was sticking up for me as far as me being the customer and letting the boss lady supervisor Jackie no that we were not the criminals we had a receipt in hand with the product we had just purchased without leaving the parking lot she was rude disrespectful inconsiderate and totally out of the way as far as accusing automatically and not even asking questions she did not stop the lady before us that had walked out with a handful of makeup that she had definitely stolen but yet turn the attention to us for no apparent reason this lady needs to be fired she needs to be reprimanded as a supervisor and put down to her actual rank this woman should not be working at the facility and I and the rest of my friends will boycott your facility until she is gone

We have been calling the store for 3 weeks in a roll daily and no one answer the phones.

I think this is very unprofessional. It doesn't matter the time of the day.

This is for the store in 46 Washington Ave, Belleville, NJ 07109.

I can't believe the manager, or an associate can't answer the telephone.

When you go in person to speak to the manager. The associates say they are not in.

A very disappointed and unsatisfied customer.

I was in your Family dollar location on March 8 2023. The time was 1:29. I came to the location to buy plastic utensils and ramen noodles for my students. When I realized the store didn’t have the Ramen noodles my students liked, I walked back over to the aisle I got the plastic utensils from. Then I proceeded to leave. Once I got to the door I was approached by an associate named Anthony. He stated that I needed to put back the item I stole. I explained to him that I had not taken anything. Anthony then proceeded to tell me then go get the item I had with me the first time. I explained to him that I would not, and that your company had working cameras, and he could see that I’ve taken nothing. Anthony then said that would take to long for him to look at, and I need to just go grad the item and show him. After Anthony continue to humiliate me by asking to go get the item he saw me have, I told him I would like to speak to him supervisor. Anthony then said he was the supervisor, and that I needed to leave. I told Anthony I would leave as soon as I talk to someone from corporate. He then told me he was over the situation, and if I didn’t buy anything I was trespassing and need to leave. When another customer came to the register he proceeded to tell that customer I was tripping. The customer then sided with Anthony and said did he want him to call someone to make me leave. I continue to tell Anthony that I’ve done nothing wrong and I wanted to wait to talk to another supervisor to tell them the situation. Anthony then went towards to back to grad another associate name Dana and tell her I was tripping. I also let her know the situation, and explained that I was trying to get a hold of a supervisor by phone to tell them the situation. Anthony then became even more irate and demanded that I leave very aggressively. I would like to talk to someone immediately about the situation that has taken place at your store. This experience has called me great stress and your store. I also have some video of how Anthony was speaking to me. The location of this store is located at :

On 03/07/2023 at 5:30 pm at the family dollar on 91st and Commercial Ave.I entered the store to do some shopping with my son and his stroller.I were told I had to leave the stroller at the door.I finish shopping went to get the stroller to put the bags in the stroller was gone.The store employees said a lady walked out with the stroller she come in here everyday.They described the young lady to me and she lived not far from me.The manager told my daddy that she told the young lady she could have the stroller, because she's not babysitting no stroller. Knowing that the stroller didn't belong to the other young lady.That is so unprofessional of your store manager on all levels.So from now on I'm not leaving anything at the front door anymore.I'm taking everything with me through the store.Because if we can't trust your manager, then who can you trust in the store to watch your belongings.

My son was in the store on 03/05/2023 and was looking for what he wanted to purchase. An employee of yours walked up to him and asked him if he needed help he said he didnt not. She then followed him on three aisle staring at him and then told him to get out he looked suspicious. We live directly across from this store and my son is in this store if not everyday he is in there every other day. My son did not have on anything that would make him look suspicious, he had shorts and a shirt with sandles. I am extremely disappointed and would like for you all to pull the camera and reprimand her on how to treat customers. He has a right to look and make up his mind on what he wants to purchase. Not to mention it was harrassment. The employee name is Mercedes Clause and the address is 1220 Dell Dale Channelview, TX 77530.

My Wife was working in the machias Maine store. She had to take off 4 days after a procedure. She brought in a doctors not but that one wasn't good enough so she had to get another notes. When she went back she was suspended for 2 days because she took too much time off. She had taken 1 day where she couldn't get out of our driveway and they sent her home one day. The store manger there [edited] makes every find their OWN replacements and forces everybody to share contact information, not legal by any means. Your manager knows about many issues in that store including all the people who are smoking pot in the bathroom but she is buddy buddy with them so it's ok.

You sent

My Wife decided not to go back because [edited] was going to fire her anyway. We will be looking into a lawyer to investigate this matter. You have a manger who can't even be there by himself because he isn't old enough to sell tobacco or beer..are you kidding me?

Being a costumer.i needed card board boxes .since moving etc , since had to go in they're dumpster by store .what. Gets to me is the stuff in the trash .like this store would be loosing money if employees bor the manager did this .like three brand-new boxes of white clear trash bags .also balloons nothing wrong with

Also theft tape it says FD on it trashed unopened X2 times 1 wheel of theft tape for meats trashed still in plastic .

Also food items that are not expired Ritz crackers .and potted meat in can with an expiration date of 2024 seriously? Also a quite amount of light bulbs nothing wrong with them besides being thrown in a dumpster broken that way .were talking wart of 75.60 flood lights .

Again ..this family dollar loosing money because managers and everything employees just tossing these items .also. stick on wall soap dispensers brand new nothing wrong .and I tried emailing .no answer no reply .

The biggest thing in the trash was a plastic bank bag that had two drivers licenses and three medicaid type insurance cards .this really ticks me off.seeing a driver's licenses still valid ..and someone that works for this FD just threw away someone's life .wether plastic or not

This ID is very much valid and it's a real aiD with star on id..and just in a trash can .what they can't take them to the local PD I. Their town? Just throw them away?

I want coupons sent to me by US mail or I want the cash registers at the store I go to have automatic computer to scan an item for use of coupon. I don't have a phone to use. Put phones to use at the counter and allow customers to use them for coupons and return the phone after coupons are used. Do something to help us. We don't all own smart phones or printers at home. Provide me with paper coupons mailed to me through US Mail SYSTEM.

#5860 store number sam Houston Victoria Texas manager said she could not take back the can opener without a box we had the receipt she said call 1800 number so we called with no outcome. We called our other family dollar on ben Jordan and they said they would take the return with the receipt without the box. A call back would be good showing y'all care about satisfied customer service call me at [protected] any time is good thanks have a great day

On February 26, 2023, at approximately 4:11pm, I purchased items from a Family Dollar store located at 3414 North Main Street in Columbia, South Carolina.

After exiting the store and proceeding across the street, a young Black male driving a White colored SUV, license tag number QVC-657, at a high rate of speed, stopped ahead of me and, without identifying himself, approached me in a menacing manner and demanded I surrender my bag to him for reasons unknown. I refused. The male, again, without identifying himself, demanded I surrender my bag to him and threatened, or "I'll run your a** over".

I proceeded to walk back toward the Family Dollar, at which time, the male pursued me in his vehicle, off the road and at a high rate of speed.

I proceeded to run to the parking lot of Auto Money Title Loans company on the corner of North Main Street and Sunset Drive. The male continued to pursue me at a high rate of speed through the title loan company parking lot, prompting me to run across the street to the Family Dollar parking lot, where a Black female, wearing a red colored jacket, presumably the store manager, was standing with her hands on her hips.

The male drove adjacent to the woman, who stated, [Y]oure good, at which time both individuals entered the store. [Area surveillance footage would support my complaint.]

I called the Columbia Police Department from a location at 2830 North Main Street, which dispatched two officers, a White female, Badge Number 26297 and a Black male, Badge Number 25278. Both officers proceeded to the Family Dollar store and returned shortly to inform me that the matter was a mere miscommunication and that no further action would be forthcoming from the police.

Because the male failed to identify himself, while demanding I surrender my property to him, and subsequently threatening to assault me with his vehicle, I construed the matter as an attempted robbery and attempted vehicular assault, causing me extreme emotional distress.

Therefore, this matter is being referred to both an attorney and the local prosecutor's office. Additionally, this report will be widely disseminated to the public domain.

Let this be a lesson to you if someone attempts to rob you and assault you with a vehicle. It's a mere miscommunication.
